This "Architectured Materials Mechanics" IUTAM (http://iutam.org/) Symposium will take place September 17-19, 2018 in downtown Chicago, Illinois. It aims to provide a state of the art on the engineering science (design, fabrication, mechanics) of architectured materials including (but not limited to): lattice materials, metamaterials, origami, topologically interlocked materials and bioinspired materials. The list of invited speakers can be found on the symposium website:

PhD openings are available in Dr. Caizhi Zhou's group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science and Engieering at Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly University of Missouri-Rolla). Research projects may involve crystal plasticity finite element modeling or atomistic simulations. The students will receive rigorous training and interact intensively with their academic advisor.

Join us for this interactive web workshop where we will demonstrate the ease of obtaining high fidelity models from medical image data using Simpleware. We will walk you through the workflow of how to build simulation-ready models for advanced analysis of anatomies, implants, medical devices, and surgical techniques.

13th World Congress in Computational Mechanics (WCCM XIII2018) and 2nd Pan American Congress on Computational Mechanics (PANACM II) will be held at Mariott Marquis in New York City, NY on July 22-27, 2018 (http://www.wccm2018.org).

The School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) seeks candidates for a full time, tenure track position in the area of Multiscale Computational Solid Mechanics at as level (Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, or Associate Professor) commensurate with academic qualifications and experience.

Applications are invited for a PhD position at Johns Hopkins University (beginning Fall 2018) on a collaborative project between the labs of Extreme Mechanics of Architected Materials (Prof. Stavros Gaitanaros) and Mechanochemistry And Functional Imaging Applications (Prof. Yun Chen) at Johns Hopkins University.The project will focus on the combination of multi-scale modeling and experiments in order to examine the mechanical behavior of DNA origami nanostructures.

The next Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference (EMI) will take place from May 29th to June 1st, 2018, at MIT.

As organizers of the Mini-Symposium MS20 “Nonlinear mechanics of highly deformable solids and structures”, it is our pleasure to invite you and your students to participate in our mini symposium.The deadline for abstract submission is January 31st, 2018.

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work at the intersection of robotics and mechanics. The selected candidate will join the Structures-Computer Interaction Laboratory, a new group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the University of California, Los Angeles. Visit our website: https://structures.computer. The research project aims to use collaborative robots to investigate the mechanics of structures (slender/flexible structures in particular). Our lab is equipped with a Sawyer collaborative robot from Rethink Robotics. We will explore how continuum mechanics simulations can be used to train robots to perform simple tasks, e.g. tying knots in ropes. Details of the project will be determined after consultation with the candidate.

A PhD position is open for Spring 2018 in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of metamaterials. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields (applicants with a MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language is a plus.

https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc18_me01/preview I am going to offer a course entitled Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering on National Program for Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) of Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD) of Govt.

As the co-organisers of the minisymposium ‘Reduced Order Techniques for Modelling the Buckling and Postbuckling Behaviour of Lightweight Structures’ in the 13th World Conference in Computational Mechanics (WCCMXIII http://www.wccm2018.org/ ), Carol Featherston, David Kennedy, Zhangming Wu would like to invite you to present a paper.

The conference will be held in New York on the 22nd-27th July 2018 at the Marriott Marquis on Broadway.

There is one open Ph.D. student position fully funded in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Villanova University. The position starts Fall 2018. The successful applicant will work with Dr. David Cereceda in the Multiscale Modeling and Machine Learning (M3L) Laboratory on interdisciplinary research topics that involve Computational Mechanics, Multiscale Modeling of Materials and Machine Learning.

Two funded PhD positions for 4 years are available in the composites group at Ghent University in Belgium. Both are focussed on computational mechanics of composites, in the framework of multi-scale modelling.
